Big Apple Goes Mobile with NYC App Hub

New York City considers itself to be the world’s communications hub, and in conjunction with Internet Week New York, the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment created a hub of its own: the NYC App Hub, which offers access to a host of smartphone apps created by and related to the Big Apple.

The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment’s mission is to streamline government communications by making information more accessible for New Yorkers. We’re working to further Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s digital goals by creating the App Hub and bringing the city’s smartphone apps together in one convenient location on NYC.gov.

Chief digital officer Rachel Sterne added:

Mobile technology is an important part of New York City’s digital strategy. Through the city’s six official smartphone applications, New Yorkers have access to real-time information about city services and resources no matter where they are.
